Modeling has long played a key role in the drug discovery process, from isolating drug targets to screening and pharmacokinetics. Many pharmaceutical companies are currently facing patent expirations ...

Modeling the Dynamics of Life: New Frontiers in Biological Physics and Mechanics is a special Collection of the npj Biological Physics and Mechanics journal, dedicated to the development and ...

In a controlled experiment that lasted just one hour, researchers prompted several leading AI chatbots and received detailed ...

Humans and animals detect different stimuli such as light, sound, and odor through nerve cells, which then transmit the information to the brain. Nerve cells must be able to adjust to the wide range ...

The rapid advancement of spatial and single-cell omics technologies has revolutionized molecular biosciences by enabling high-resolution profiling of gene ...

Biological communities are rarely stable. Their composition is constantly changing, depending on the environmental conditions in the respective ecosystems—and sometimes this change is so vast that ...

Researchers have created a model that can calculate the energetics involved when one organism stabs another with its fangs, thorns, spines or other puncturing parts. Because the model can be applied ...

The growing popularity of generative AI, which uses natural language to help users make sense of unstructured data, is forcing sweeping changes in how compute resources are designed and deployed. In a ...

Biochemist John Carson uses The Virtual Cell to compare experimental and simulation results. Biologists are generating a vast amount of data on the molecular events that occur in the cell. Since a ...
